Abstract: Since 1885 when the first Gospel was preached, the Korean churches brought an unprecedented growth to the global Christian mission history. But since 1990, the Korean church growth have slowed down and in recent years, recorded a negative growth. There is a crisis in Korean church. The crisis in Korean church is not simply about decrease in church congregation but having lost the flavor of the salt in the world and the imminent crisis of the churches and christianity standing at the end of the cliff. Hence, this paper will lay out the pastoral leadership as the cause of the crisis in church. Because the pastoral leadership is the center and has profound impact on the church and its direction. The crisis with the present pastoral leadership is due to diverting from the original Biblical pastoral leadership. Only by returning to the original Biblical pastoral leadership, restoration of the original church can take place and in the future, become an influential church. Therefore, this paper argues the crisis in the diagnosis, study of biblical leadership and current ministerial leadership.
